1. Another word for "subculture" that doesn't sound quite so scientific, allowing it to be used in daily conversation. Used this way it usually has an adjective modifying it: the "indy scene" or the "hardcore scene" or the "emo scene." When someone refers to a particular "scene," they're talking about everything - the people, the places, the fashion, the music, and the trends.

2. A tongue-in-cheek reference to the trends and fashions of the various scenes. Many of these subcultures were built around countercultural ideals and nonconformist attitudes; the fact that trends even exist is humorous irony, and using "scene" as an adjective originally intended to lampoon that.

3. A trend of sorts that evolved from the indy, emo, and hardcore scenes (see the first definition); basically, anything that can be sold at Hot Topic. As events like Warped Tour - and artists like Avril Lavigne - became popular, the trends and fashions of these three scenes (and a few others) were gradually amalgamized and commericalized to create the generic "scene" monkier. Someone who is "scene" generally borrows from the various subcultures and combines them together - you can tell they're part of *a* scene, but no one is quite sure *what* scene. It is important to note that this use of "scene" refers to a fashion trend - it isn't a subculture in its own right, because it has no music, venues, or attitudes of its own to live on after it loses popularity.

4. An ironic insult toward followers of the "scene" trend outlined in 3. Calling someone "scene" brings up images of Avril Lavigne, Hot Topic, Good Charlotte, and, more recently, Myspace; it implies that he or she is a fair-weather fan, conforming to be popular or to fit in. In that sense, it is related to the term poseur. It also implies being more worried about the more visible icons of a particular scene (the fashion and language, for example) than the music that the scene is founded on. Calling someone a scenester basically means the same thing.

1. Atreyu is a relative newcomer to the hardcore scene, but is developing a rabid cult fanbase.

2. Wow... a Thundercats shirt, crotch-hugging faded jeans, and a devilock... how very scene of you. Not to mention your ratty Converse shoes or your Know Your Mushrooms armband.

3. Be more scene. Shop at Hot Topic.

4. Enjoy being scene while it lasts, because Myspace isn't enough to keep it going once the next fad hits.

Scene is a way of life not just some fad. Its like a cult and there are rules you must follow in order to be truely scene. You must have scene hair!!! You must never leave the house till your amazing scene hair is perfectly styled and covering your eye at a 45 degree angle. It must be two colors at least and it must be choppy. You will usually cut your hair yourself or have a friend do it.FASHION AND MUSIC are your only gods. You go to shows as much as you can to listen to your fav (hxc,indie, metal, grind) band. Hxc dancing is a must learn or the little scene girl dance which conists of little movemement of the feet and hands in hair kinda nodding back and forth. You Love: Dinos, Saying RAWR, robots, old scool anything, hello kitty, x's, bows, clips, cute things, make up, myspace, destruction, and all other scene kids. You take a million and one myspace picture and all have to consist of angles, photoshop, and expression. Non scene kids are to be avoided as much as possible. You can not become scene you either are or your arent.

A term used mainly by young teenagers who try to define themselves by a social class that doesn't exist. Scene is usually associated with these argued, undefined, and very distorted subcultures:

1. Any group of people that dress the same, act the same, and conform to the standards of their own "scene" which is usually based around music. Most scenesters are highly self-important jackasses and annoying teenagers. You can go from hardcore to breakbeats, and there is a scene for every different genre and sub genre of music. "Scene" does NOT necessarily refer to music that uses guitars, just go check out the drum and bass heads if you want proof.
2. A smaller measurement into which acts of a play are broken, usually based around a specific area. Most plays have 3 acts with 2-3 scenes per act.

1. You know i'd go to the show tonight but all the damn scenesters will be there acting too cool for their own good and i just don't like the vibe
2. Act II scene 3 of that play was a momentous performance, don't you agree?

****Scene guys will not talk to anyone thats 'un-scene'. If a unscene girl leaves him a comment on myspace, he WONT comment back or talk to her at all. He will go to local shows and probably is WITH one of the bands that play or there to dance (mosh, two step, throwdown, etc.) like a crazy motherfucker. He's straight edge but smokes ciggarettes because "ciggarettes doesnt count", & he drinks on the downlow. He drives an ugly car and has a job that doesnt pay much. He has a sidekick I,II, or III just so he can be like all the other scene guys and check his myspace and AIM whenever he can. He has 561,844 friends on myspace but only knows about 300 of them.

Scene guys:
-usually very skinny
-tight straight leg jeans
-or tight girl jeans
-choppy hair, lots of hairspray, side bangs
-usually 2 or more colors in their hair
-vans slip on shoes, big nikes, or pumas
-tight, small band shirts with bands you've never heard of before
-eyeliner
-small hoodies that are small on them and zipped up all the way
-always wear some kind of wrist band that they got from going to a show or venue
-gauges in their ears
-dance obnoxiously no matter what kind of music it is
-says "nigga" instead of "dude"
-kisses other dudes but claims hes straight
-or claims hes bisexual but wont do more than kiss another guy
-drinks energy drinks alot (usually MONSTER, or REDBULL)
-claims he is vegan/vegetarian/straight edge

****Scene girls are the mean, stuck up, obnoxious ones who will not make any contact with you if you are not scene. They hate little girls who attend shows or concerts, and will pick on them. They too are straigt edge but smoke ciggarettes & drink on the downlow; they call themselves straight edge because basically, being straight edge is 10 scene points right there! They hate when a person that isnt scene likes the same band as her. She only likes bands that arent that famous and goes to every show they play in her state. She also has a million friends on myspace but only knows a little amount of them. she also has a sidekick I,II, or III just so she can be like all the other scene girls and check her myspace and AIM whenever she can. She's a bitch who will act tough but can't fight for her life.

Scene girls:
-choppy, mullet looking hair with side bangs
-usually with 2 or more colors randomly dyed all over the place

-usually colorful eyeshadow (green, purple, blue, yellow)

-Straight legged tight jeans
-HUGE ASS purses/bags
-short skirts with bright colored leggings
-ballet flats/slip on shoes
-tight colorful shirts
-small band shirts with bands we've never heard of
-big necklaces
-huge ass sunglasses or black rimmed glasses
-gauged ears or earrings you have never seen before

-Usually shop at thrift stores to look vintage
-claims she is vegan or vegetarian

If you consider yourself scene, you're just another one of those fags who know that you're emo & dont want to admit it because being emo is a bad thing. Being scene is just as stupid. Boys, stop wearing your sisters clothes and squeezing your dick near your zipper. Girls, stop wearing your little brothers/sisters clothes & fix your fucking hair. My little brother can cut hair better than your mullet looking bird nest. Being vegan is like killing all the trees. So...you're not typically saving the animals/world. Being straightedge is a very personal thing and you can't just change your opinion on it. PS, most scene kids are sluts, and being straight edge means you dont have sex or show nudity...so, therefore, you are not straight edge.
